This is the ninth art

Chapter 53 President Chu!Please let me stay in the company to work overtime for free! !

at dusk.

The employees all left one after another, and Mr. Chu stayed in the office for a while.

After getting acquainted with the company's management system, I thought about the follow-up development direction.

The overall goal is naturally to move towards the game empire.

But for now, the most urgent task is to improve the company's level and expand its influence.

A C-level company must meet the comprehensive requirements of 200 employees, 1w influence, 10w fans, and a monthly income of 1000 million.

According to Mr. Chu, after carefully checking the system requirements, he found that the 1000 million company earned money.

It is the income that goes purely into the company's bill after all expenses are removed.

Normally, it is the final income of the company boss.

That is, a series of expenses such as game costs, employee salaries, benefits, venues, water and electricity, publicity, after-sales, and public relations are removed.

At present, the monthly expenses of 50 employees, plus various expenses such as site water and electricity benefits, average about one million a month.

If you multiply the number of employees by 4
The corresponding expenditure of 200 employees must exceed at least 400 million.

This still does not include various expenses such as publicity and distribution, servers, etc.

In addition, there is also a 3% commission for the listing platform and a 2% tax.

"That means, a conservative estimate would require a monthly turnover of about 3000 million to achieve a revenue of about 1000 million." Chu Jun stared at the spinning pen in his hand, lost in thought.

The so-called not being in charge of the family does not know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.

Calculated in this way, the monthly turnover pressure of C-level companies is not small (the C-level judgment here is not the game industry, but the revenue judgment of C-level companies in the entire industry)
The previous King of Fighters 97 and Plants vs. Zombies used Apocalypse's publicity.

As a veteran game company, Apocalypse has a certain fan base.

And this fan base is accumulated through multiple games.

The launch of the next three puzzle games was entirely due to the traffic effect brought about by the cultural celebration.

And the large traffic inhalation brought by the three-day city-wide advertising promotion.

This thing is like a song that occasionally becomes popular on Douyin, and the traffic was huge at that time.

But after the popularity is over, the singer will release a new song. Unless the quality is also excellent, no one will care about his new work.

But good channels like cultural celebrations cannot be available every day.

"We have to find a way, and find some channels with high exposure." Chu Jun flipped through the recent news related to the game industry.

In terms of stand-alone games, there have been no recent eye-catching events.

But in the segment of online games, there will be a new star ranking list at the end of the month.

After a closer look, Mr. Chu knew.

In terms of the current domestic game market, it is the same as in the previous life, and the proportion of online games is still much larger than that of stand-alone games.

The revenue ratio reached an astonishing 9:1
Of the game's total sales of tens of billions last year, [-]% was related to online games.

Only 10% or [-] billion is the income earned by a single machine.

Under this premise, domestic game platforms are divided into three categories.

One is the free game platform, the most famous of which is TTgame
There are some individual independent studios or micro-companies resident there.

Relying on the model of placing advertisements in the game to earn revenue.

Especially in the past two months when the types of games have been expanded, all kinds of weird mini-games have emerged one after another, and the popularity of TTgame has also increased.

After all, not everyone has extra money to buy games, or is willing to spend money to buy games.

The other category is the GGame platform that mainly uses the stand-alone buyout system.

Here, almost [-]% of the games are stand-alone. Players buy out the personal right to use the game with a one-time payment, and then enjoy the experience of playing.

The third category is the game platform where online games gather.

ZXgame, the main business scope is all PC port online games.

As well as Tianqiong game, the main scope is all mobile (mobile phone) online games.

Led by these two big platforms, surrounded by a group of small platforms, they divided up the entire domestic online game market.

That is, the A server, B server, channel server, Apple server, etc. that are well known in previous lives.

It's just that in this world, the agency has changed.

The new star push list is an event jointly organized by ZXgame and Tianqiong Game.

Divided into PC and mobile awards.

Within a week of the release of the new online game, the game that the player has recharged the most will be recommended by a built-in banner on the platform for one day.

The daily active users of these two platforms have reached the million level.

Pushing for one day is a very strong traffic exposure.

"Online games... It's not impossible to consider." Chu Jun thought for a while, and clicked on a registration by the way.

Just about to close the page.

However, they found that there was an ad recommendation for "The Strongest Musician——Season [-]" on the popular recommendation on the browser's homepage.

After browsing it roughly, it is a music program that did not exist in the previous life, but it is similar to music variety shows such as "The Voice of China" and "Best Singer".

It's just that "The Most Powerful Musician" has a wider coverage. Whether you talk, sing, play, or even howl when you leash a dog, the judges will give you a serious score.

Of course, when the tethered dog comes up, the judges are no longer scoring points, but the sophistication of the world.

This variety show was unexpectedly popular because of the wide coverage of musicians, and there will be various unexpected famous scenes.

Therefore, the effect of the program is directly full, and the ratings remain high.

The first five seasons have been a complete success, and the sixth season is about to start. Currently, it is still in the process of recruiting music critics, similar to the role of a mentor in the previous life.

The scope of recruitment is also open to the whole people, as long as you are confident, you can sign up for a try.

After looking at it casually, Mr. Chu turned it off.

The exposure of this show is absolutely high, as long as it can be mixed with a conspicuous appearance rate, it will be awesome for the promotion of its own game.

But with his current singing voice of only 6 points, it is not embarrassing to be a contestant.

As for being a tutor, people say that it is for the whole people, but if you haven't produced original songs, can people let you really go up and sit in that blind β comment?
Look at the progress of the system task.

Business branch ① is halfway done—recruiting 50 employees in a week.

The remaining half is within the month when the company reaches a monthly income of 200 million.

"That is to say, at least 600 million turnovers must be sold."

"This shouldn't be too difficult, and the three puzzle games can still contribute a little bit every day."

"As long as Xinyou's performance is satisfactory, it can be easily completed."

……

The next day.

Junyue Company.

After yesterday's preliminary guidance, let the employees have an idea of ​​the type of audio game.

Today's explanation of Mr. Chu is much easier.

However, when the most traditional audio game model of "Dropping" was thrown out, it still caused a lot of exclamations in the company.

"Fuck!! This idea is amazing!!"

"Boss Chu is too awesome, isn't he? I thought yesterday that I put a few more buttons there for players to press and it's over."

"This is the difference between when someone is the boss and you can only work for others."

"I'm convinced, I'm really convinced now."

"In this life, I will enter Junyue without regret, and in the next life I will be a laborer!"

"Not so not so..."

And soon, all the staff found out.

What Chu Jun showed them yesterday was really just the tip of the iceberg, and he didn't talk big at all.

When you see the dazzling 'multi-push', 'all-push', 'stairs', 'interaction', 'vertical connection', 'noodles', 'sea facing', 'scatter', 'strength cut', ' When introducing the types of various keys such as big and small stacks' and 'high-speed four-press'.

The expressions of all employees: (°_°)
Mom asked us why we had to kneel to work.

"Mr. Chu... may I ask, this game is made... is it really for players to play..." an employee asked cautiously.

It's not that they have to question it, but this game...it doesn't look like a game that humans can play...

Is it too early for the 21st century?

But Chu Jun threw out a surprising concept.

"The games on the market today are still too lenient to players."

"???"

"In fact, everyone has a tendency to be masochistic in their bones, and what we have to do now is to activate the masochistic physique of the players. The so-called I abused the players thousands of times, and the players treated me like first love."

"???"

Everyone's expressions were filled with disbelief.

Abuse of players?
Players still enjoy the feeling of being abused?
How could such a player exist!

Now the game manufacturers on the market all treat players as uncles, and try to make players happy as much as possible, just because they are afraid that they will be aggrieved in playing games and cause a frenzy of quitting the pit.

When he arrived at Mr. Chu's place, he tried every means to abuse the players...

Does this...

But soon, the employees discovered that there were such people in their group.

"Hey... this game is so interesting... I can't wait to play the finished product... Do it, make it soon! I'll start making it right now!! I'm motivated!!!" Peng Yuyan sat on the workstation, his eyes It seems to be burning with a small flame, hehe, silly and happy.

All employees: "..."

Perhaps, now in the eyes of other employees, Peng Yuyan looks like a masochist.

However, they don't know what they are about to face.

three days later.

After Chu Jun threw out the preliminary framework of the game, all the people worked together to complete the follow-up design of the first track.

The song "Fearless" is released!
Of course, the copyright has not been discussed yet, and it can only be used privately for personal use, and cannot be commercialized.

"Everyone install the original version of the game on their mobile phones, and try it out." Chu Jun laughed.

"It doesn't matter if you can't get through, right? Mr. Chu." Some employees complained.

This game looks too difficult.

It's so difficult that people don't even have the desire to challenge...

After going to work and school for a day, I am so tired, I just come home to relax, who would play such a game to abuse myself...

Of course, these words cannot be said to the outside world.

Once the contract is signed, life is the company's people, and death is the soul of the company.

"It doesn't matter, just play it casually, the main thing is to get familiar with the games we developed by ourselves." Chu Jun glanced at the time: "It's almost six o'clock, try it for a while, everyone should get off work on time."

……

eight pm.

"Mr. Lu, I'm off work now~ wave." Secretary Xiaohui waved to Lu Dazhi, and left the company with her small bag.

"Ah."

"Boss Lu, get off work, goodbye."

"Okay, hard work."

"Boss Lu, see you tomorrow."

"it is good."

When the passing employees left the company, they greeted Lu Dazhi one after another.

Lu Dazhi put his hands behind his back, nodded one after another, and watched the employees leave one by one.

He is quite satisfied with the working attitude of the current staff.

Under the temptation of overtime pay, almost all employees are willing to stay for a few more hours.

If you contact a few more customers, the company will easily earn tens of thousands of dollars.

As long as the employees work hard enough, they will change to a Ferrari next year!
"Mr. Lu, everyone's enthusiasm for overtime work is very high." Wang Xuan smiled as he passed by Lu Dazhi with a satchel on his back: "After the new company regulations you issued last week clearly stipulated overtime pay, they One or two are full of energy."

"How can it be possible for the horse to run and the horse not to eat grass? I still need to give out two more candies." Wang Xuan has been working with Lu Dazhi since he graduated from university. Lu Dazhi also regards him as a confidant and has been caring for him. educate him.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, when I mentioned this, I remembered that when I went downstairs yesterday, I happened to meet the employee opposite, so I asked a few words. Guess what?" Wang Xuan approached, with a puzzled face, "That gentleman The salary of the monthly company is very low, even only 2/3 of the salary level of the peers, what do you think Mr. Chu is doing?"

Lu Dazhi was slightly taken aback.

In the past few days, the company has had a lot of business, and the other party is not a peer, and there is no competitive relationship, so he didn't pay much attention to the opposite company.

"The salary is very low?" Lu Dazhi pondered.

"Maybe it's because Xiao Chu didn't have enough funds on hand after he sold the site, so he planned to deduct from the staff."

Immediately, he frowned and shook his head again, and taught Wang Xuan earnestly: "Xiao Wang, don't learn this kind of thing. I did this stupid thing when I was young, and the result was that the employees' work attitude was particularly negative, which caused the company to close down after only one month. shut down."

"Deducting employees' wages, at least not so obvious, find ways to squeeze their surplus value from other places so that they don't notice it. This is the best choice."

"Leaving aside, just working overtime alone may cause employees to have a lot of resistance. It's not like our company has such a good atmosphere."

"Xiao Chu is still too young and has no experience as a manager."

Find a chance to talk to him someday, Lu Dazhi really likes Chu Jun, a young man.

He is polite and humble, without the frivolous atmosphere of a young man in his twenties.

Everyone can be regarded as getting acquainted once, and it's just a matter of little effort to give him advice.

"Go, lock the door." Lu Dazhi put away his thoughts and glanced back at the empty office.

After Wang Xuan locked the door, the two walked out of the company one after the other.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the brightly lit lights of the company opposite.

"Little Chu, didn't you turn off the lights when you left? How much electricity will be wasted in one night." Lu Dazhi clicked his tongue.

In any case, he is also a person who has lived a hard life. The company with an area of ​​more than 500 square meters burns hundreds of dollars in electricity every day, and he himself feels a little distressed.

He leaned closer and looked inside through the glass door, originally wanting to see if Mr. Chu was still there, and to remind him to turn off the lights before leaving.

As a result, he only glanced inside, and Lu Dazhi froze for a moment.

people!
All people!
At a glance, dozens of employees are working overtime at their workstations, the keyboard is crackling, and the enthusiasm for work is almost turning into a real flame.

Such a conversation can be faintly heard.

"Okay, let's go back quickly, we won't be able to catch the last bus any longer."

"Mr. Chu, don't drive us away! This game is so fun and top-notch! I want to play other songs myself!"

"This game looks difficult, but it's actually very enjoyable after you get started! It's so good!!"

"It's really cool to be abused! And after I was abused dozens of times, the moment I cleared the level, the sense of accomplishment was so good that my scalp was numb!!"

"The finale of The Shawshank Redemption is not so exciting!"

"Give me half a month! No! Ten days! No! One week! One week! I will definitely let the demo version of this game come out!! How can such a fun game be the only one suffering and being happy!"

"Mr. Chu! I have to work overtime! I'm going to work on the floor at the company tonight!!"

Lu Dazhi and Wang Xuan looked at each other.

Black question marks all over his face.

"This...the enthusiasm of the employees in their company is so high..." Wang Xuan was dumbfounded.

Compared with the employees of my own company, I work hard every day for money.

The employees at this company seem to...have a different drive.

"Cough." Lu Dazhi has been in the industry for so many years, and he has never seen such a group of enthusiastic employees.

Recalling the evaluation of Chu Jun just now, he coughed lightly and said: "Maybe, the salary is low, but the overtime pay is more, otherwise these employees would not be able to work for free..."

"However, the company does not pay overtime pay at night." At this time, Chu Jun's voice came from the office again.

Chu Jun helplessly spread his hands.

He just asked the employees to play for a while to familiarize themselves with their own games, and they can almost get off work.

Who knew that after the trial play, one or two of these employees felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

I've never seen a game like this before.

The process of playing is not always pleasant, but it is pain and happiness intertwined.

Until the moment of customs clearance, it is extremely cool!Urging them can't wait to experience the difficulty of the next level.

The result is found after clicking.

Oh, we made the game ourselves.

The next level is not done yet.

hateful! !
At our age, how do we fall asleep after work!
"Why do you need overtime pay! I have a hunch that this game will definitely sell well!! The commission is much more delicious than overtime pay!!"

"That is, even if the commission is removed, the resume of the 'explosive audio game design team' is enough to put money on the face."

"Mr. Chu, go back first, let us have another class!"

Lu Dazhi: "???"

Wang Xuan: "???"

Lu Dazhi and Wang Xuan, who were eavesdropping outside the door, had extremely complicated expressions.

The two stared at each other.

No overtime pay... Employees working overtime without pay is like being beaten...

What's the matter? ? ?
It is rare for the boss to persuade employees not to work overtime and to take a break earlier, but it is not uncommon.

However, the employees persuaded the boss to go back to rest early, and leave them to work for a while...

Lu Dazhi, a self-proclaimed "what scene I haven't seen" began to doubt life.

Because of this scene, he has never seen it before...
